Trio Gold Corp.: News Release
CALGARY, ALBERTA, Oct. 4, 2010 (Marketwire) -- Trio (TSX VENTURE:TGK) (PINK SHEETS:TROOF) recaps phase one drill program completed on Rodeo Creek property located on the northern portion of the prolific Carlin gold belt in Nevada.
In the Flower zone a total of three reverse circulation and one core hole were drilled. All four holes encountered significant gold mineralization. In AMK-FZ-3 an 85ft interval between 315 ft and 400 ft assayed 1.64 gm/T gold (0.05 oz/t) including a 20ft section grading 4.22 gm/T (0.12oz/t). AMK-FZ-4 core hole intersected a 43ft section of mineralization at 340ft grading 1.33 gm/T (0.04oz /t) including 14ft of 2.37 gm/T (0.07 oz/t). AMK-FZ-2 assayed 0.81gm/T (0.024oz/t) over 30ft at 315 ft. AMK-FZ-1 graded 5ft of 0.55 gm/T (0.016 oz/t) over a 5ft interval starting at 265ft. The gold mineralization from this area is believed to be controlled by a deep-seated structure and that some of the gold migrated up the Flower fault to its present near-surface location. The drill program has set up additional high priority targets that, in management's opinion, could lead to a deep hole discovery. In addition, the potential exists for the definition of a shallow resource in this area.
Two holes were drilled along the west target area; AMK10-1 and AMK10-2. Hole AMK10-1 was drilled to a depth of 2978 ft and AMK10-2 was drilled to 3027 ft. The holes encountered more than 800 ft of Popovich formation, the predominant gold bearing formation along the Carlin Trend. Both holes encountered anomalous gold values ranging from 0.15 gm/T over 90ft to 0.22 gm/T over 75ft together with the all important ore indicators silver, arsenic and antimony. After reviewing the core and the assay results we believe that follow-up drilling is warranted in this area to test the potential extension of the highly mineralized and altered zones, which may include deepening AMK10-1 and wedging off both holes in a southwest direction.
AMK10-3 hole targeted the Arturo fault system in the Look area in the south central part of the property. This hole reached a depth of 3467 ft and drilled more than 1300ft of Popovich formation, 500ft of which is variably silicified and decalcified including 50ft grading 0.17 gm/T gold. The drill results show a noticeable eastward progression to the gold mineralization and alteration. This strongly justifies additional drilling eastwards from AMK10-3.
